Roald Dahl’s Book of Ghost Stories

Synopsis

Background

Fourteen terrifying ghost stories chosen by the master of the macabre, Roald Dahl.

"Spookiness is the real purpose of the ghost story. It should give you the creeps and disturb your thoughts..."

So says Roald Dahl in the introduction to this collection, originally published in 1983. Roald Dahl's Book of Ghost Stories brings together 14 of his favourite spine-chillers, carefully chosen after a lot of research - Roald read 749 stories altogether before choosing his final selection.
